My professional interests are primarily trying to assess and understand the impacts of climate change in the Arctic, primarily to glaciers. I work with a great group of international collaborators, at a time when great changes are taking place in the Arctic.
From April to September in 2008, we will be living and working on or near McCall Glacier, located in a remote eastern Brooks Range. Hopefully we can send posts from the field so that you can follow along with our progress.
I've lived in Fairbanks for over 15 years, and could not think of a better place to live and work, at least in civilization anyway...

The International Polar Year 2007-8 is a huge, exciting scientific campaign focussing on the polar regions. It is also an unprecedented opportunity to demonstrate, follow, and get involved with, cutting edge science in real-time.
